#Unix / #sed / #awk / #shell ninjas,

What's the easiest way to suppress anything more than 2-3 blank lines at a time? I don't want to remove all blank lines, just excessive blank lines.

I'm coming up with a simple shell function to strip html tags, because I don't like the way terminal browsers re-flow/wrap the text when you use the -dump|--dump option.

The way I'd normally do it is something like:

sed 's/$/{lineend}/' |tr -d '\n' |sed -E 's/(\{lineend\}){3,}/\1\1\1/g; s/\{lineend\}/\n/g'

…but I figure there's probably a more elegant way?

After reading @rl_dane's post, I wanted to share how I manage my #bookmarks, and add some quick #notes using #neovim.

So far for June's carnival, I got only ... @rl_dane 😔
